The Mark 2 DG300 Gearbox has five forwardratios and reverse. It is designed for usewith rear engine competition cars having acapacity of up to 4% litres.

Only one final drive ratio is used. Since thedrive is indirect at all times, any change inratio can be made through the gearbox. Thedrive is taken from the clutch shaft to thespiral bevel final drive via straight cutgears. Gear change is effected by non-syn-chronised face dogs. Ratios can be changedwithout removing the unit from the chassis,and all requirements can be met from ourextensive range of gears. All ratios exceptbottom are inter-changeable, and may bearranged in any order.

The differential and crown wheel assemblyis mounted on two taper roller bearingslocated in the side plates and adjustable tocorrect pre-load by shins. Output shafts arealso mounted in the side plates, and lip oil

The gears run directly on caged needle rollerbearings, and each gear and bearing revolvesas an assembly. Heat treated nickle-chromesteel is used for all gears and shafts. Selec-tor forks are cast in aluminium bronze, and

casings in magnesium alloy.

The differential is of Limited Slip design,the unit normally supplied being the Camand Paw1 type.

The gearbox unit is lubricated by oil splash,and the final drive by pump. The pump islocated in the main case, and is fed via afilter which can be withdrawn from the out-side of the case.

Remove the eight 5 / 1 6 UNF Nyloc nuts andwashers from the end cover. Take off coverand gasket.

Remove the split pins from the castellatedpinion and layshaft nuts.

Push the heads of the two outside selectorrods, thus engaging the gears. This locks thegear box by engaging 2 gears.

Remove the pinion nut, (left hand thread) andslacken off the lay shaft nut, (conventionalright hand thread)

Now withdraw the two outside selector rods,to disengage the gears.

Using a plastic mallet, tap the bearing carrierand remove it from the main case, completewith lay-shaft assembly and gear train. Sup-port the gears, hubs and clutch rings withthe hand, as they come off the pinion.

The gearbox unit is now completely removed.

Replace in reverse order to above.

CHANGING GEAR RATIOS

When changing a gear ratio, take off the slack-

ened layshaft nut and remove the layshaft fromthe bearing carrier. Gears are exchanged in pairs- one from the layshaft and one from the pinionshaft . Each gear is etched with two sets ofnumbers. The first is the number of its ownteeth. The second is the number of teeth on itsmating gear.

It is essential that gears should be correctlypaired according to these numbers.

SETTING UP THE SELECTOR FORKS

Extreme accuracy in setting up is imperative toensure that gears engage freely, and to avoiduneven or excessive wear. The use of a HewlandForksetting. Jig is strongly recommended. De-signed specifically for DG 300 it will save costlysettingup time and vastly reduce the possibilityof error. (Fig. 1)

Note that when two layshaft gears run to-gether, their chamfered sides must faceeach other. (See diagram A)

1. Warm the case and drop in the pinion tailbearing as described above.

2. Place the jig in a vice. Slide the hubs, withtop gear and thrust washer, on to the dummypinion.

3. Attach the bearing carrier to the jig, usingtemporary nuts.

4. Tighten the pinion nut. Then check for correctclearance on top gear. (.008” to .0l0")

5. Remove from jig. Fit selector forks to rods,with nuts and washers.

6. Build up the hubs, gears and clutch rings,and slide them back on to the setting jig.

7. Adjust the forks individually. Correct posi-tioning required that:-

(a) The clutch ring should be centred on itshub, between the two gears.

(b) The clutch ring should engage fully witheither gear.

(c) When fully engaged with either gear thereshould still be 0.005 clearance betweenthe gear and clutch-ring faces.

When satisfied with the set-up, continue asfollows:-

8. Tighten all three selector rods using newnuts and tabs, at the same time, make surethat the selector rod heads are correctlyaligned, and that there is clearance between

RE:MOVE FROM JIG

9. Warm up surrounding area and put in layshaftbearing. Build up the complete layshaftassembly with gears, spacers and thrustwasher. Replace in bearing carrier

lO.Put the complete set up back into the jig.Re-check all clearances. Test all movements.When satisfied, take from jig and boit IT ontothe gearbox, using a jointing compound.

ll.Tighten the nyloc nuts around the bearingcarrier. Replace nuts on pinion, layshaft andtighten using torque spanner. Put in splitpins.

Remove the eight plungers (pawls) (15) fromthe pIunger carrier (13).

Wash and examine for wear or damage, givingparticular attention to pawls, and profiles ofthe cam tracks. Make certain that:-

The splines of the inner cam track are to-wards the drive shaft (3), diagram (B).

New bolts and tabs are used for the crownwheel. Tighten with a torque spanner to 75ft.lbs Smear bolts with locking fluid.

N.B. On re-assembly use a good quality greaseto lubricate the inner cam track bearingsurfaces. We recommend the use of ‘Moly-slip’ grease for this purpose.

The crown wheel and pinion are supplied as apair, precision matched and lapped. Each pair isindividually tested and passed as perfect beforeleaving the factory, and neither part should everbe replaced without the other.

Setting up can be done in the usual way, usingengineer’s blue. A faster and more positivemethod, however, is to use the new HewlandSetting Gauge. Procedure is as follows:-

TO ADJUST THE PRE-LOAD

1 .

2.

3.

Assemble differential unit, using the newcrown wheel and solid dummy bearings inplace of the two inner differential bearings(11). The thickness of the shims is criti.cal.If they have to be renewed make sure theyare replaced with shims of same thickness asthe originals.

Assemble the differential unit and side platesto the main case. Holt up, incIuding tie bars,to normal tension.

Now turn the pinion by hand to test the pre-load. Adjust by means of shims until satis-factory.

NOTE: Turn the pinion with hubs removed. Usingreasonable effort it should be possible to turn itby gripping the splines, but more effort will beneeded with dummy bearings than with real ones.Make sure there is some evidence of backlash.Absence of backlash will give a false impressionof pre-load.

TO ADJUST THE BACKLASH

For this oed dial

eration you will require a post-mount-i ncr.rcator with an extended probe (Fig 4).

1. Remove the solid dummy bearings from thedifferential unit and replace them with dummybearings. (Real bearings with increased toler-ances for easy substitution).

2. Insert the probe of the dial indicator throughspigot housing until it touches one of theteeth of the crown wheel (Fig 4) Note thereading on the dial indicator. Turn pinion byhand to rotate crown wheel, and take at least12 readings. (14 readings are standard prac-tice in our own workshops). Minimum readingshould be .004”.

8. To increase or decrease backlash, changeshims from one side of the differential to theother. But remember that, once the pre-loadhas been set, you can use only the shims thatare already there. Continue to test untilsatisfactory.

RE.ASSEMBLE AS FOLLOWS:-

4. Press inner bearings onto differential ass-embly.

5. Warm up one side plate, insert oil seal, sideplate bearing and circlip.

6. Press the drive shaft into the side plate andretain with circlip.

7. Insert shim or shims, and outer bearing track.Place a heavy weight on bearing to flattenout shims.

8. Repeat for the other side plate. After cooling,assemble one side plate to the main case.
